If your other VSTi plug-ins can be played OK from your keyboard, then MP2 should be OK, too. Double-check the MIDI channel for the notes sent by the keyboard and make sure that you instrument in MP2 is set to that channel.
Thanks DarkStar.
While trying to fix the issue I took Reaper out of scenario and tried MP2 as standalone. Same issue - setup the audio / midi to my hardware - I have sound and the on screen keyboard works but not my controller!
Good news though - did a factory reset of my midi controller and rebooted. Now my midi controller works to trigger MP2 in Reaper
Out of curiosity I checked if it was also now working as standalone but it is not
Getting it working with Reaper was my goal though so all good for now.
Cheers
